Alison & Steve –
Seems like its been a while since I’ve written to ya’ll. It’s been almost 6 months since we lost daddy. I miss him so much. I try not to let it show too much because I don’t want to get ya’ll upset too. He was not just my husband but also my best friend. Your daddy always took up for me. He was so great. It hurts so much sometimes when I realize that we will never have what we had, again. I know in heaven we will all be together again but I still miss him. He was a very special person. Ya’ll brought him so much happiness. He was very happy. He liked being a daddy. He wanted to teach ya’ll so many things. We used to talk about growing old together and raising ya’ll to be good people.

It’s been fun reliving some of the memories, but upsetting at others. I hope this book will inspire people. We went through a lot of bad stuff, but it does get better! There is always hope.

I finally got all the letters together that I wrote to my kids as they were growing up. I am going to compile everything and create a book. I know it’s been done before, sort of, but this one will be different, because it is our story. I even have the letters I wrote to my husband when he passed away in 1986.
